Gang Summit Looks to Build Better Futures in North County (livewellsd.org)

 

Every other year, the North County Gang Commission and County of San Diego host the Building Better Futures Summit, a free community event to provide residents with the latest information on gang reduction, intervention, prevention and suppression efforts in North County. The most recent summit was held earlier this year at the North Inland Live Well Center in Escondido on Thursday, February 2, 2017.

Over 180 individuals representing the community, mental health, child welfare, public health, education and law enforcement came together to participate in the summit. This year’s event focused on the issue of human trafficking and the role of technology.

All attendees received a working lunch and participant packet, which included copies of speaker presentations and information on local city-specific gang prevention and intervention collaboratives open to public participation. As one attendee shared, “Today has really inspired me to do even more to prevent gang activity in our community. I want to get more involved in the lives of at-risk youth and show them that there are other paths.”
